Lies We're All Guilty Of As Told By "Mean Girls"

We've all been stuck in sticky situations where we've been forced to choose between lying or telling the truth. Whether your friend wants to know how you feel about her new boyfriend or your parents want to know why your grades aren't too hot, we've all been there. And sometimes, it's best to tell just a little white lie.

1. "Sorry I'm late, I got stuck in traffic."

In other words, you hit the snooze button one too many times. Hey, we all need our beauty sleep, and that 7:45 a.m. gets right in the way.

2. "You look awesome!"

Of course your friend looks good, they're beautiful and amazing, but you don't always understand their outfit choices, nor do they get yours. To spare feelings, sometime it's best to just keep your thoughts all wrapped up.

3. "I don't feel so good, I don't think I can make it."

Yes, you have had these plans made for a long time, but you would rather be curled up on the couch eating leftover Easter candy and watching every show on Netflix.

4. "Don't worry, I already deleted the picture."

No, you're saving that embarrassing Snap to send in the group chat later, or even to eventually share on Instagram. Either way, you're keeping that picture.

5. "I can't, I'm on a diet"

We have all told ourselves this lie. In reality, though, you're probably going to eat healthy for the majority of the day, you may even go to the gym. But when you go home, you're going to eat whatever is left in your kitchen.

6. "Whatever, I'll just study later."

Of course you'll study, your grades are important. But it will just be later; in fact, it will be three hours and five episodes of "The Office" later. Or more, because when it comes to Netflix, the limit does not exist.

7. "Don't worry, I'm on the way!"

Actually, you're still doing your hair, and you haven't even finished your makeup yet, but hey, you want to look and feel great. Plus, you can always just pull the traffic card again.

8. "I'm so sorry, I've been really busy lately."

In other words, you've been binge watching Netflix and catching up on some much-needed sleep. Sometimes being social is hard, and sometimes, you're just exhausted, and that's okay.

9. "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you."

But you will ignore that person for the next few days, and even complain about them to your mom. Sure, you'll get over it, but sometimes, you need some space.

10. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see your text."

You saw it, but you didn't want to respond to your coworker or boss just yet. Or at all. Don't worry, you can always say your cell phone was on silent.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
